US EditionTalks to end US shutdown look promising, Senate majority leader says
Senate talks focus on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies affecting 24 million people while aiming to end the 40-day shutdown and fund agencies through 2026.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune said bipartisan talks in the U.S. Senate took a positive turn, with lawmakers working on deals to temporarily reopen the government.
- On Oct. 1, appropriated funding lapsed, triggering the shutdown as Republicans have said they will not negotiate on health insurance subsidies until it ends.
- As a result of the shutdown, 24 million people relying on Affordable Care Act marketplaces face subsidy risks, about 10,000 young children and families lost Head Start services, and flight cancellations increased at DFW airports.
- The Senate will try again with a rare Sunday session to advance funding measures, and John Hoeven, North Dakota Republican Senator, said short-term funding expiring on Nov. 21 would be updated.
- Saturday marked the 39th day of the federal shutdown as Republican senators hope to unveil three fiscal 2026 full-year funding measures through September 30, 2026 while senators prepare a stopgap for nine discretionary spending bills.
